  • Patent number: 10386045
    Abstract: The invention proposes a luminous module comprising a flexible printed circuit board. The connection to ground of the electronic circuit accommodated by the printed circuit board is produced without adding fastening parts dedicated to this role. Compared to known prior-art techniques, the invention allows a luminous module to be produced comprising fewer constituent parts and occupying a smaller volume.

  • Publication number: 20170241618
    Abstract: The invention proposes a heat dissipation device for a light device of a motor vehicle, comprising a metal support of generally planar form and at least one crimping pin intended to fix a printed circuit of said light device onto said support. According to the provisions of the invention, the dimensions of the crimping pins are independent of the thickness of the support of the heat dissipation device. Methods for assembling the crimping pins on the support, and a printed circuit on the pins, are also proposed.
